I’ve embarked in a journey of building  a tailor-made E-commerce system. I need to be able to have everything my client needs so I’m coding it from scratch, with the help of some good tutorials I found online. Sometimes having to search for  while to find a good tutorial. My plan is to share here the URLs of some I found very interesting and helpful, feel free to contribute.

 http://www.php-shopping-cart-tutorial.com – Great Tutorial, you can actually download a fully working shopping (free). It also has good insight into security, specially XSS 

 http://www.phpwebcommerce.com – Simple but yet very well explained tutorial

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Creating-a-Secure-PHP-Login-Script – well explained secure login

http://www.mredkj.com/tutorials/tutorial007.html – Great tutorial on working with dynamic Select Lists

http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread447204.html – Forum posts on how to Integrate sage & mysql via XML

 http://www.weberdesignlabs.com/blog/?p=11 – Flash iTunes cover flow in flash (fed by XML)

These sites, demos and freebies did give me a great insight into what I was entering into, and I’m happy with the outcome so far. Most of the Open Source e-commerce I found, although good, they lacked some features I wanted so I’m still coding along.
